no 2 machines the same, i've had a semi red machine cost under a score for a £70 top, then one thats ARB2/3 consistenly cost £70/£80. reds can be stubborn at times. too put it another way i would'nt risk having less than £200 on me too push a red. biggest amount i've been in is £140 total, but i got 2 x £35 then a £70 luckily.
I relaise no two machines are the same, But if you was going on the force (not already knowing the state of the machine) how much would you expect to put in for a top if
It was neither buzzing its tits off
or
Just given a Big top
after i've done a particular red in the same place a few times i get too know give or take a day when they are next ready, some go like clockwork and i hardly ever miss them, some you miss then you don't have a clue where you stand with it. i've got about 30 reds on my route and when i've had one over i'll just put a reminder on my phone for the next hit. i find it impossible too remember else, especially after a few beers.

not that i've ever forced a red thats blue every board i would guess it could cost over £200 for a top, probably cost over £100 just too get past the £5 block if someone has just had a £70/£105 top

yeah its good to keep on top of things and know exactly how far you leave them off etc, phone reminders are crucial
why do you want to know, your thinking about just brute forcing? only play when through the £5 and nobody has had it for a while, redding or at JP stage
